Description

Description générale

Artemisinin is extracted from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua). It has anticancer, antiprotozoal and antiviral activities. Artemisinin is associated with brainstem encephalopathy.

Application

Artemisinin has been used:

• in drug susceptibility assays
• as a standard for its quantification from artemisinin from hairy roots
• to check cell viability using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay
• as an antimalarial agent to investigate the role of autophagy-related (ATG) genes throughout the P. falciparum asexual and sexual blood stages

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Artemisinin (Qinghaosu), a sesquiterpene lactone, is a highly active anti-malarial (falciparum malaria) drug. Artemisinin is also an anthelmintic (parasitic worm) effective against the blood fluke, schistosomiasis.
